First, let me add a little more from yesterday. Thanks to a few Connecticut Birders, I was able to identify two more birds from yesterday's outing at Flanders.
Since I am not great at IDing birds by sound alone, I do not count them unless I am sure of them. So yesterday I heard a bird calling "Here" or "Queer" in a consistant single note every 7 seconds. I then took the suggestions of other birds and went to the Cornell University Ornithology website to listen to recorded calls adn then compare the recordings to what I heard. It turns out, the bird was a Veery.
The second bird I heard near the Marsh went "Weep" or "Sheep" either once, twice, or three at a time and also in a single same note, that is, "weep-weep-weep" pause "weep-weep" pause "weep-weep-weep", etc. Also after comparing suggestions with Cornell, it was a Great-Crested Flycatcher.
Then this morning, while driving home from gettign some pool chemicals, a bird flew pass my car. It was small and dark blue in color. At first I thought maybe a male Bluebird but the dark blue did not match a bluebird's blue. Then I realized I had just seen a male Indigo Bunting! No idea of weather conditions though when I saw the bunting so I won't list any.
So....
78) Veery
79) Great-Crested Flycatcher
80) Indigo Bunting
